The big graph database model provides strong modeling for complex applications and efficient querying. However, it is still a big challenge to find all exact matches of a query graph in a big graph database, which is known as the subgraph…
We present a near-linear-time algorithm that, given a bridgeless cubic graph, finds a perfect matching intersecting every 3-edge-cut in exactly one edge. This improves over a cubic algorithm of Boyd et al. for the same problem, and over our…
Pure exploration in multi-armed bandits has emerged as an important framework for modeling decision-making and search under uncertainty. In modern applications, however, one is often faced with a tremendously large number of options. Even…
We initiate the algorithmic study of retracting a graph into a cycle in the graph, which seeks a mapping of the graph vertices to the cycle vertices, so as to minimize the maximum stretch of any edge, subject to the constraint that the…

We study two variants of \textsc{Maximum Cut}, which we call \textsc{Connected Maximum Cut} and \textsc{Maximum Minimal Cut}, in this paper. In these problems, given an unweighted graph, the goal is to compute a maximum cut satisfying some…
The notions of dominating sets of graphs began almost 400 years ago with the game of chess, which sparked the analysis of dominating sets of graphs, at first relatively loosely until the beginnings of the 1960s, when the issue was given…
The graph alignment problem aims to identify the vertex correspondence between two correlated graphs. Most existing studies focus on the scenario in which the two graphs share the same vertex set. However, in many real-world applications,…
